C.* MANDAL R.** AND MANDAL, A. K. Zoological Survey of India, Oalcutta INTRODUCTION In keeping with the necessity fot an up to date reference tool on the protozoan parasites of Indian fishes, necessary matters are complied with an honest effort to provide impetus, hopefully, for greater awareness on the parasites and disease of fishes and for further specific research on the subject. The coverage extends beyond taxonomy to other fields directly referrable to fish-inhabiting proto­ zoa. While doing so we have looked through the Zoological Records up to 1974 and the Biological Abstracts as were available in Calcutta Libraries up to the year 1979. We would request to the readers to invite our attention to possible errors and omissions so that, subse­ quently, an improved and up dated catalogue can be published. In spite of our best efforts, some references could not have been consulted in original and cited from Wenyon (1926) and Bhatia (193~) .. But we have made it a point to arrange and classify, both protozoan parasites and the host fishes, according to their systematic position. In the species-catalogue originally cited host names are given while in the host-catalogue the same have been put within parenthesis if found incorrect, under valid host names. Thus one would get both valid and originally cited host name by going through both species and host catalogues. The catalogue is prepared with a view to present a technical mono­ graph on the subject afterwards. The task ahead is vast. We shall be obliged to receive reprints, materials and/or informations from fellow colleagues and researchers in this fields. Infact, we are in need of some more nlaterials (protozoan specimens in particular) to start with the monograph and commenting on them, their prevalence, pathology and host-parasite relationship. • Present address: Zoological Survey of India, Kakdwip Field Station, Kakdwip, 24 Parganasl West Bengal. •• neB MANDAL 2 REC.

  • 134-145 a REVIEW of the SCIAENID FISHERY RESOURCES of the INDIAN OCEAN* Central
    7, mar. biol. Ass. India, 1991, 33 (1 & 2) : 134-145 A REVIEW OF THE SCIAENID FISHERY RESOURCES OF THE INDIAN OCEAN* R. S. LAL MOHAN** Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin 682 031 ABSTRACT Hie sciaenid fishery of the Indian Ocean is reviewed. Coastal areas of the Indian Ocean are divided into various geographical zones such as east coast of Africa, Red Sea, Arabian and Persian Coast, Pakistan and Indian Coast, Burma and west coast of Malaya, west coast of Indonesia and the western coast of Australia. Hie sciaenid fish landings of each zone is studied. 34 species of sciaenid fishes are considered commercially important among the 48 species of sciaenids occurring in the Indian Ocean. Species composition of the sciaenid fishes in each of the above zone is discussed in detail. The landings of each species is estimated and tabulated. The total landing of the sciaenids in the Indian Ocean is estimated to be about 198,480 tonnes. OtoUthes cmieri is considered to be the most abundant sciaenid forming about 14% (27,5331) of the sciaenid landing of the Indian Ocean. The next important species was Pterotolithes lateoides with 12.7% (25,464 t). The northwest coast of India was the most productive area for the sciaenids contributing about 26% of the sciaenid catch of the Indian Ocean, Burma Coast was also another rich area accounting 16.0% of the catch. INTRODUCTION on the group was mainly concentrated on the taxonomic studies, the recent investigations THE SCIAENID fishes are one of the important have given more attention to the resource components of the fish landings along the potential.

  • A Checklist of the Ende'mic and Threatened Fishes of Western Ghats
    Rec. zool. Surv. India. 98(Part-4) : 39-43. 2000 A CHECKLIST OF THE ENDE'MIC AND THREATENED FISHES OF WESTERN GHATS B. E. YADAV Zoological Survey of India, Western Regional Station, Sect. 29, Vidya Nagar, Akurdi, Pune - 411 044 INTRODUCTION The Western Ghats, an important biogeographic zone of India and one of the global hotspots, offer beautiful niches to the piscine fauna of the region. The Ghats having about 1400 km. long almost continuous chain of hills, obstruct southwest monsoon an(i forms major water shade for Peninsular' India. It gives rise to three east flowing major rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery as well as many short west flowing rivers viz. Vaitarana, Savitri, Vashishthi, Shastri and number of their tributaries. Higher degree of precepitation, moderate climate and huge forest cover in the Western Ghats supports plenty of aquatic life including fish fauna. More than 60 million years old tropical ecosystem of Western Ghats, having senile topography and many naturally portected streams, ponds and rivulets enrich high degree of endemism among ichthyofauna. Yet, out of ) 35 species of fishes known from northern part of Western Ghats, about 38% are under threat and few are on the verge of extinction. The present work is based on study carried out by examining the huge fish collection present at WRS/ZSI, Pune collected from ) 960-) 995 (Yadav ) 997). MATERIAL AND METHODS The colection was made by using cast net, bag net, water net etc. in rivers; by blocking a small portion of hillstream or by drying out smaller ponds. The fish specimens were instantly fixed in the 4.50/0 Formaldehyde solution.

Received: 30-12-2017 Accepted: 01-06-2018 DOI: 10.18805/ijar.B-3554 ABSTRACT Bangana dero is an economically important indigenous cyprinid fish of Manipur, India having maximum standard length of 40cm. For the taxonomic placement of this species among the Labeonin fishes, molecular characterization is conducted by using mitochondrial 16SrRNA gene sequences. Partial sequences of mito. 16SrRNA gene of fifteen cyprinid species of the sub-family Labeoninae were downloaded from NCBI Genbank. The analysed nucleotide sequence lengths were 538 bp. In a total of 811 characters, 194 were conserved sites (monomorphic) and 347 were variable sites (polymorphic) and out of 347 variable sites, 73 were parsimony informative sites and 274 singleton sites. The nucleotide frequencies are 31.4% (A), 22.57% (T), 24.00% (C) and 21.96% (G). The transition/transversion bias (R) is 2.51. The overall mean distance is 0.083. The dendogram constructed by Neighbour-Joining tree have three clusters which can indicate the taxonomic positions of Bangana dero .

L. Khan Women’s College, Abstract Midnapur, Paschim Medinipur, Present study reveals that the genus Barilius represents two closely related species, B. barna West Bengal, India (Hamilton, 1822) and B. vagra (Hamilton, 1822) in the freshwater system of Paschim Medinipur District of West Bengal, India. Apparently these two species seems to be the same species because of their similar pattern of vertical stripes on the upper half of lateral side and laterally compressed body as well as more or less similar body colour. But closer examination can distinguish these two species by convex ventral margin and absence of barbells in B. barna. Both the species is being first time reported from South Bengal, Paschim Medinipur District. Keywords: B. barna, B. vagra, Distinguish, Reported Introduction Small indigenous freshwater fish are often an important ingredient in the diet of village people who live in the proximity of freshwater bodies. Word „Indigenous‟ means the originating in and characteristic faunal or floral components of a particular region or country & native nature. Small indigenous freshwater fish species (SIF) are defined as fishes which grow to the size of 25-30 cm in mature or adult stage of their life cycle (Felts et al, 1996).
